About Jennifer
Jennifer Thomas-Simmons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 19 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, anger, and other life changes. Jennifer uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to address immediate concerns and daily struggles.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build treatment around each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supply concrete tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set achievable goals and track progress over time.
Jennifer often helps clients who are juggling caregiving, adoption or foster care issues, and fertility or postpartum concerns. She also supports people facing grief, isolation, relationship or communication problems, and workplace stress. Her approach mixes discussion with exercises aimed at changing patterns that cause repeated problems.
Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what can be changed in daily life. Practical skills for handling anger, improving sleep and eating, and managing panic or obsessive worries are commonly used. Jennifer pays attention to role strain and compassion fatigue when caregiving or professional stress is present.
She offers care in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin working together.
Approach and how online sessions work

DBT provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and handling strong reactions such as anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That collaboration includes trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
